“With that being said I am disappointed to say I’ve decided not to compete in the Australian open this year,” she continued. “However, the memory of last year’s Open is one that I will carry with me and Olympia and I look forward to coming back again. I appreciate the support and understanding of my fans and everyone at the Australian Open.”
